Secretary of State Mike Pompeo sits down for an interview with CBS’s Margaret Brennan on Face The Nation today. The primary topics of discussion were the denuclearization talks between President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong-un, the upcoming summit in Singapore and the Iran nuclear issues.

Secretary Pompeo outlines the U.S. position on DPRK negotiations from the perspective of bold and refreshing common sense. Therein, there’s an interesting part of the conversation where Margaret Brennan asks if full denuclearization is achieved will the U.S. remove sanctions… Secretary Pompeo almost said “DUH”; and reminded Ms. Brennan the purpose of the sanctions is to achieve denuclearization. WATCH:

You are 100% correct! Secretary Pompeo is everything you could ask for and than some. He absolutely owned this WHORE today. I loved when he said that PDJT wants to STARVE the Iranian Regime. That message was also intended for Macron, May, Merkel and any other European country.

The deal with North Korea 🇰🇵 is 100% concluded! Every time Secretary Pompeo speaks, it solidifies that fact. Now we got to hear what our President will do in return for North Korea 🇰🇵. Our men and women will Make North Korea Great Again! In return for denuclearizing and getting rid of all ballistic missiles, our companies will take North Korea 🇰🇵 out of the late 19th century into the 21st Century.

Our President sent a couple of tweets today in reference to China 🇨🇳. I have a funny feeling that part of these negotiations is the fact that China 🇨🇳 is going to pick up the cost for us transforming North Korea 🇰🇵.

President Xi of China, and I, are working together to give massive Chinese phone company, ZTE, a way to get back into business, fast. Too many jobs in China lost. Commerce Department has been instructed to get it done!

China and the United States are working well together on trade, but past negotiations have been so one sided in favor of China, for so many years, that it is hard for them to make a deal that benefits both countries. But be cool, it will all work out!

The WHORES, Democrats, RINOs, CoC, Europeans, Leftists etc. are going to be absolutely besides themselves that Chairman Kim is willing to let it all go in return for our Lion 🦁 to build his country into a 21st Century Metropolis.

As for Iran 🇮🇷 and the 4 prisoners, Secretary Pompeo and VP Pence should have both told this WHORE that BHO had the opportunity to get them home when agreeing to the one sided Iran 🇮🇷 Deal. She and the rest would never ask that question again!

Thread by @Baba9773: "1) This was an incredible Joint Press Conference! It solidified for me that the agreement is already in place. I think Kim Jong-Un is chomping at the bit to have his country go from the late 19th Century to the 21st Cent […]" https://t.co/wG73Glckfg

What people are missing, North Korea just surrendered. US and South Korea have won the war. Korean War is over. Took over 60 years, and way too many lives, but…. This was accomplished weeks ago at Mar a Lago when XI and Trump sealed the deal and China gave up supporting NK. Trump has just accomplished what every President since Truman have wanted, but couldn’t do. Snifter clink to PDJT. History being made.

For a supplementat read today, the howtobeyourowndetective.com writer covers the Alabama Dems covering for a rapist operative and shows people how to check on 12-step programs who introduce predators to an area. Post is called “Sex Offenders, Politicians, and Alcoholics Anonymous.”

I believe our President now knows the few great fighters he can send to these Sunday ‘gonna getcha’ questioners. Sec. Pompeo is perfect, plain speaking and assertive. Regular people can understand him. Fake The Nation can change their studio decor and attack-dogs but President Trump’s team can never ease up.

The talking head seemed shocked that part of deal was not a payout from the US taxpayers. None of our money, just sanctions being lifted and free enterprise and good ol’ American know how being unleashed in NK. They are being offered opportunity not bribes.

Loved that Pompeo said specifically that what they are doing in NK is what should have been done in Iran.

All the former negotiations … er, capitulations … included bailouts that propped up the NORK dictators power and legitimacy. This time, this president pulled the rug out from under the dictators power. Sanctions that destroyed the dictators legitimacy. The short-term, misplaced, “compassion” for the North Korean people … only extended their suffering. Which is one of the reasons why liberalism is a mental disorder … because they cannot think strategically … long term … to actually SOLVE problems, not temporarily paper over them …

Liberals like bail outs because they could take their cut off the top – never think other wise. Don’t you see how that explains why Obama sent pallets of unmarked money to Iran in the middle of the night.

“Which is one of the reasons why liberalism is a mental disorder … because they cannot think strategically … long term … to actually SOLVE problems, not temporarily paper over them …”

Everything is a money making scam to today’s liberals – they do not and never did care for the rest of us. George Soros sent his friends and relatives off to NAZI gas chambers so that he could sneak into their homes and take the things many of those families had handed down for generations. Soros says those were the best, happiest days of his life.

So when does Soros and his family that endorse this NWO go to jail or kicked out of the Us. Soros is currently involved in spending money for local Democrats running for DA…to put in people who won’t prosecute illegals, won’t put criminals in jails, especially illegals and minorities, etc. When does this guy get put into a temporary H8ll while he’s waiting to go to H8ll permanently?

Secretary Pompeo has a calmness about him that I appreciate. One take away from this interview reporters need to brush up on their history or they will look ignorant on interviews. We need new media not seasoned opinion reporters.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I can only imagine the spirit in the room when our President and cabinet when they are together. It must be the same magic experienced as our original Founders created our nation. Now we have another slate of Patriots who have stepped up to the task of saving our nation. Thank you President Trump for leading our nation out of darkness.

Very, very well said Fleporeblog, and love his interaction with her. She is a total W—-, as you call her, typical MSM. I think Pompeo is a great choice. He is brilliant as is #POTUS, graduating first in his class at West Point after which he served in military, law school etc. AND an excellent ‘talker’ to the moronic leftists.

Duh moment…. I can just see her face on his response to “will we continue the sanctions..” if Sec. Pompeo replied “ we will not only remove sanctions for the N.Korean people, but an American invasion is already being planned….by MacDonalds Intnl., Kentucky Fried Chicken, Walmart, Coca Cola, Ford Motor Co,, Pizza Hut…..on and on.

Any new Iran agreement will be much tougher as their behavior actually got worse under the agreement. The economic freedom and thebillions in bribes paid to them by the American taxpayers increased their ability to war…and they did! Now, all nuclear must stop nuclear but also missles being launched, war in Yemen and support of terrorists, etc. must stop all war and aggression.

My paraphrasing of what I understood him to be saying. Thanks for posting!

I very much enjoy that thought! I see Nunes floating around for 2024, but I believe Pompeo to be much more suitable for President. I love Nunes and he is doing more than anyone else in congress in trying to get to the bottom of things, but I don’t think he has it in him to be POTUS, at least not yet. Something about how they way he speaks, he needs a little more energy or confidence or something, I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Pompeo has everything Reagan had that endeared him to people… A great sense of humor, relaxed, very quick on the take, a witty riposte available at all times, easy to understand, and something Reagan did NOT have, but essential in today’s world…. A killer instict. He will slit your throat while he is smiling in your face, with minimum words.

I understand what you’re talking about wrt Nunez but to me it’s as if he’s just trying not to lose patience and go nuclear on the obstructors he is having to deal with. How hard it must be to have to work with Adam Schiff without throttling him!

Is it important to state that Iran never signed the agreement or deal, in the first place, when it was brought to congress there was no signature… so there was no reason to honor it. T
hey took our money and that help build the very thing that the Iran Deal was suppose to stop.

Never watch the MSM Dunday morning shows because the anchors are such ciphers. She had this strange blank look on her face while awaiting the next question coming into her earpiece from the production staff. Looked like Pompeo was enjoying winning.

Secretary Pompeo just sums up PDJT’s Foreign Policy, which CTH has so eloquently lays out here for us. The Council on Foreign Relations crowd is absolutely oblivious to “thinking outside the box” of their mentality since the organization’s inception, which is geared towards a NWO type arrangement for the nations -NOT strong individual nations, as ordained by God Almighty.

“cut short the diplomacy” -(Margaret Brennan) – see my comment about SOS Pompeo. The current version of what was considered “diplomacy” was not working, as SOS Pompeo so aptly brings up.

Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

MSM rages, meanwhile hostages are being released, Saudi Arabia begins cultural change, North Korea becomes a real Nation State, ISIS is utterly destroyed, the IG Report is due anytime, the World is changing….. yet? MSM Rages…. you would think they were paid opposition. Uh, yeah, they are. #MAGA #TheGreatAwakening and by the way? The BIGUGLY is FUGLY!!!

Fascinating to watch the facial expressions on Secretary Pompeo’s face as he became increasingly aware that he was being interviewed by a person with no knowledge of what the heck she was talking about and paying no attention to his answers. He is the best! No wonder POTUS wanted him in this position. I agree with the Treeper who said he would be a good President some day soon.

No wonder the Dems tried to block Pompeo’s nomination…they knew he is sharp, very sharp, truthful replete with MidWestern personality, humor and patriotism something KetchupHead and Hildabeaste never possessed by intent….Pompeo is quickly becoming one of DJT’s cabinet all stars like Mattis, Mnuchin, Ross,etal…..but never Sessions… too much grief under his watch for the Admin and America for that recognition imho…..

“interviewed by a person with no knowledge of what the heck she was talking about and paying no attention to his answers. ”

That is because the only thing that matters to them is the fake news MSM narrative being pushed by the deceived masses afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Nothing else matters to them. It is just like the Dems flip flopping on Immigration issues, etc. When BHO did it (call to congratulate Mr. Putin, for instance) then it is kosher. If PDJT does the same thing it is verboten.

How about those “Rods from Heaven” as discussed by Vanderleun at the “American Digest”? The “rods” are noted as weapons that destroyed NORK’s nuclear underground bunker and capability. Thus a treaty that will transform the economy will play like the coming of nirvana at such a starving and repressed country.

Truly a possible scenario that would have been called a deluded fantasy some few months ago.

Pompeo is awesome in this interview. The reporters need to do their homework before interviewing him so they don’t look so dumb. Each time I watch and listen to Pompeo, and other high caliber people on PTrumps team, I realize just how awful other presidents were (especially Obama). North Korea is already dismantling their nukes- so it looks like they want this to happen as much as we do.

President Trump WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. How lucky are we to be living in this exact moment in history? On top of that, how lucky are we to have Sundance walk us through one of largest conspiracies in world history? Watergate..? Pshh.. this is JULIUS CAESAR LEVEL CONSPIRACY. We are so blessed!

Well, it’s obvious that Reuters has not been hiring very astute reporters either. Makes you wonder if any of these clowns listen to or read the transcripts of the Administrations statements. It’s like having to deal with a bunch of 6 year olds – you have to repeat everything you tell them multiple times until finally one day it starts to sink in.

Absolutely unbelievable. His Cabinet is firing at all cylinders; get ready for overdrive this summer! I realize some folks are not on board with Jeff Sessions, but let us take a look at current ongoing investigations. For those of you on the fence about Sessions, I suggest you wait until at least ONE of these investigations finishes before you take a side. Let the man conclude his work before making a decision on him. Let’s take a look:

Jan 2017 Hillary Clinton espionage known and organized crimes. Almost a year and a half and Sessions is chasing pot smokers instead of Indicting her.
Sorry, not buying that it’s that hard to do or any need to stay silent and let the Rule of law fade into history.
Handcuffs and cameras on Monday morning.

Appears that AG Sessions got to work as soon as he was confirmed. It took until mid Feb 2017 for the Senate to confirm him and then they investigated him over “muh Russia” allegations ( at Congress’ request) until the end of March IIRC.

Plus, anyone who’s interested in facts can see that there have been quite a few successful prosecutions by going to the official DoJ website. My most interesting one was a German bank caught laundering money in the U.S. For Mexican drug cartel.

He does well by framing the issues around the will of President Trump, not upon himself. This is not about Secretary Pompeo. This is about Trump and his vision for America and the world. Ordered correctly in this way, the relationship appears highly effective.

In this way, Secretary Pompeo reminds me of General U.S. Grant who was the clenched first that achieved the war aims of the man who directed him. Like Grant, implacable and utterly focused on achieving the will of his President, Pompeo appears a similar intelligent force of nature who may successfully translate the MAGA vision of Trump to the world.

“H.J.Ansari Zarif’s senior advisor: “If Europeans stop trading with Iran and don’t put pressure on US then we will reveal which western politicians and how much money they had received during nuclear negotiations to make #IranDeal happen.”
That would be interesting.#JCPOA”

“So John Kerry just left a meeting @ L’Avenue in Paris w/3 Iranians. A friend was sitting next to their table and heard JK blasting @realDonaldTrump. The Iranians had a 5 person security detail and left in diplomatic vehicles. Is he FARA registered? @seanhannity @TuckerCarlson”

President Xi of China, and I, are working together to give massive Chinese phone company, ZTE, a way to get back into business, fast. Too many jobs in China lost. Commerce Department has been instructed to get it done!

ZTE’s misdeeds…
According to documents filed today, for a period of almost six years, ZTE obtained U.S.-origin items – including controlled dual-use goods on the Department of Commerce’s Commerce Control List (CCL) – incorporated some of those items into ZTE equipment and shipped the ZTE equipment and U.S.-origin items to customers in Iran. ZTE engaged in this conduct knowing that such shipments to Iran were illegal. ZTE further lied to federal investigators during the course of the investigation when it insisted, through outside and in-house counsel, that the company had stopped sending U.S.-origin items to Iran. In fact, while the investigation was ongoing, ZTE resumed its business with Iran and shipped millions of dollars’ worth of U.S. items there.

ZTE also created an elaborate scheme to hide the data related to these transactions from a forensic accounting firm hired by defense counsel to conduct a review of ZTE’s transactions with sanctioned countries. It did so knowing that the information provided to the forensic accounting firm would be reported to the U.S. government by outside counsel. Outside counsel was not aware of this scheme and indeed was wholly unaware that ZTE had resumed business with Iran. After ZTE informed its counsel of the scheme, counsel reported – with permission from ZTE – the conduct to the U.S. government.

Zte’s punishment….no one went to jail
“ZTE Corporation has agreed to enter a guilty plea and to pay a $430,488,798 penalty to the U.S. for conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) by illegally shipping U.S.-origin items to Iran, obstructing justice and making a material false statement. ZTE simultaneously reached settlement agreements with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). In total ZTE has agreed to pay the U.S. Government $892,360,064. The BIS has suspended an additional $300,000,000, which ZTE will pay if it violates its settlement agreement with the BIS.”

“ZTE pleaded guilty last year to conspiring to violate U.S. sanctions by illegally shipping U.S. goods and technology to Iran and entered into an agreement with the U.S. government. The ban is the result of ZTE’s failure to comply with that agreement, the Commerce Department said”

Working with Xi on this is in my opinion a big US win. We just permanently crippled a major Chinese high tech for wilfully violating our rules. China allowed it to happen Now to ‘save’ ZTE’ China will have to make major consessions to Trump in return. Trump Art of Deal combined with Sun Tzu Art of War. Another masterstoke. And his work week has not yet even begun.

Very impressive. Clear, simplified the complex, added memorable sound bites. No wonder Pompeo was 1st in class at both West Point and Harvard Law. Command smarts.

But he is just one of many such Trump ‘senior execs’ now. SoD Mattis: “What keeps you up at night? Nothing. I keep others up at night.” UN ambassador Haley. SoC Ross, many times. SoHUD Carson on public housing reforms. New SoHHS on drug pricing reform—‘I know how to reform the game because I played it from the other side’. EPA’s Pruitt on transparent science. His probable next step will be to make that policy ‘retroactive’ by reopening opaque secret science PM2.5 and Endangerment findings.
The good senior exec list is much longer. Trump acting as terrific CEO of USA is clear. He is not a politician. He was a successful CEO of his own private company, simply now applyingbthose skills to USA ‘business’. As is taught at HBS—CEO basic job: Chose the strategic direction, chose the person to implement that direction. NEXT!
BTW, my guess is that Possum ‘Silent Killer’ Sessions will not disappoint, else Trump would have already replaced him like TRex and Price and Flynn and Priebus. Trump is doing the Apprentice for real, with MAGA at stake. Enjoy the show, it is on every day now.

Pompeii followed by Lindsey Graham is the ultimate contrast of a Statesman as opposed to a political hack.
How can SC continue to send this clown to the Senate of the United States. He is without shame or self awareness, and really a danger to himself and others.

You call him a toll booth operator, but Wallace delivered the election to Trump when hosting the third debate. Wallace did it while trying to destroy Trump with The West Wing playbook of going into detail on every topic that Republicans are of course too dumb to do. He opened with a discussion of guns, abortion, and judges, handing Trump Pennsylvania.

I occurs that Sec’y Pompeo was well served by having a 15-month stint leading the CIA before taking on the State Department. T-Rex was perfect for consolidating the relationship with the Saudis; he knew them well. The rest of the world requires a deep understanding of just how badly the CIA has infiltrated other governments, especially North Korea.

An interesting interview (with video) with Dr. Daniele Ganser on NATO’s Secret Armies is part of the following article on Operation Gladio, just one of the challenges faced by PDJT and his team as Gladio B exercises false flag operations around the world encouraged by the last four administrations of B/C/B and O. All the more reason to have a person of Sec’y Pompeo’s experience.

Ok…who is the idiot who thinks that canceling the Iran deal makes it less likely that the Iran hostages will he returned???? If the Iran deal was so great, the hostages wouldn’t be there now!! Clearly having the Iran deal in place didn’t help these people come back.

A thought from a one year lurker. I submit this with fear and trembling, after witnessing the brilliance and informed nature of this community. Great job, guys, and gals! So fwiw:

One thing that I don’t see mentioned in the MSM or anywhere else other than the local China news is that the Norks test site has collapsed. This has the potential for making Chernobyl look like a kitchen fire. The first three “tests” were of nuclear devices that did not completely fission (the yields were sub-par) that means that the radiological hazard from partially fissioned active material would be some nasty stuff with half-lives measured in thousands of years. The cleanup of this site is going to cost someone some big-bucks. Imho, this was the catalyst that caused the “big panda” to put his paw down and tell Kim Jong underwear to knuckle under and get that mess under control.

Loved Pompeo’s interviews with Wallace and Brennan. By watching Pompeo you can tell that he is excellent at sizing people up. He spoke to Wallace as an adversary, never breaking eye contact. And the “ludicrous” moment was case in point. He spoke to Brennan like a child, cajoling her with humor, treating her with exaggerated respect by calling her ma’am. Then politely schooled her calling her by first name as he explained how the world really works.
